Bubble Shoe

Inspired by the practice of reflexology in which specific pressure points are connected to different organs and systems of the body. 
The overall form of the shoe is based on the science of pedobarography which measures the pressure fields between the plantar surface of the foot and a supporting surface.

I derived surfaces from pedobarography graph of a person. The size and distribution of each spherical unit on the shoe is related to the pressure points based on the reflexology diagram.
